Gold Springs Resource Receives First Assays from 2021 Drill Program
Gold Springs Resource
Receives First Assays from 2021 Drill Program
July 5, 2021, Vancouver, British Columbia— Gold Springs Resource Corp. (TSX: GRC,
OTCQB: GRCAF) (the “Company” or “GRC”), has received the first assays results from its 2021
ongoing drill program at the Gold Springs project located on the border of Nevada and Utah, USA,
in the prolific Great Basin of Western USA, one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world.
Highlights include:
- 5.30 g/t gold with 12.4 g/t silver over 19.8 meters in hole E-21-012 (South Jumbo);
- 1.58 g/t gold with 8.3 g/t silver over 9.1 meters in hole E-21-004 (South Jumbo);
- 2.10 g/t gold with 3.4 g/t silver over 3.1 meters in hole J-21-001 (North Jumbo); and
- 4.32 g/t gold with 10.3 g/t silver over 1.6 meters in hole J-21-001 (North Jumbo).
Randall Moore, Executive Vice President of Exploration, stated:
- “The very good result of the hole E-21-012 with 5.3 g/t gold over nearly 20 meters at its
bottom is a very important gold intercept that confirms our belief that the Jumbo South
resource not only continues at depth, but could also extend further west. Several holes will be
planned in the future to fully test the depth and western projections of this significant
mineralization.
- Holes E-21-004, 005 and 011 were all drilled in the South Jumbo Gap Zone, a 250-meter-
long gap in the resource with only one previous hole . These holes demonstrate that
mineralization continues through this area which should have a positive impact on the overall
resource.
- The one North Jumbo resource step out hole J-21-001 succeeded in finding narrow intercepts
with high-grade gold values”.
2021 ongoing drilling program
Gold was seen in 9 of the 12 holes located in the South Jumbo resource area. These holes were
designed to test for extensions of the resource to the south, within the gap zone and at depth.
The Company has now completed 31 holes for a total of 6,020 meters of the budgeted 8,100-
meters drill program. Assays have been received for the first 15 holes. The results disclosed in this
news release are from the Juniper target (2 holes), North Jumbo (1 hole), and South Jumbo (12
holes). The drilling was designed to test for new areas of mineralization focusing on the ground
based CSAMT geophysical survey (see press release September 2, 2020) and to expand upon the
existing resources.
The drill program is currently completing 2 additional holes at the Juniper target to test the strong
geophysical response in this area. Once those holes are completed, the drill program will move to
the historic Charlie Ross mine site and the Company will conduct the first ever drilling in this
area. Recent geophysical work has shown that the Charlie Ross, Tin Can, Pope, and Red Light
targets may be connected at depth and the Company expects that this first drilling will help to
answer that question.

Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and he has reviewed and approved the
scientific and technical information contained in this news release.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Approximately 7 kg of RC chips were sent to the laboratory for each 1.52 met er drill interval.
Standards and blanks are submitted into the sample stream at the rate of 15% for QA/QC
purposes. In addition, the laboratory also includes duplicates of samples, standards and blanks.
The results of these check assays are reviewed prior to the release of data. All RC sample assays
are also reviewed for their geological context and checked against the drill logs.
Assay Method
Assays were performed in Sparks, Nevada by Paragon Geochemical, an ISO 9001:2000 Certified
and independent laboratory. Gold was analyzed by fire assay of a 30-gram sample with an AAS
finish with samples assaying greater than 3 g/t re-assayed using a 30-gram sample and a gravity
finish. All other elements were analyzed by a four-acid leach ICP method.
